News Corporation is reported to be in talks over the purchase of a stake in commercial Polish TV channel Polsat.
Rzeczposplita, the Polish newspaper, reported on Monday “Murdoch’s group is in negotiations to buy 33 per cent of the shares in Polsat,” saying that the information came from sources close to the discussions.
Polsat, the only commercial television network in Poland, has denied the rumours. However Nicolas Weinstock, News Corp’s spokesman, says that Central and Eastern Europe are of interest to the group.
